Shigeru Ishiba continues to lead Japan despite severe challenges—his Liberal Democratic Party lost majority for the first time in 15 years, signaling a potential political instability.
The prime minister's government now faces issues like political finance scandals, inflation, labor shortages, and the pressures of an aging population, risking his long-term survival.
Analysts express concern over Ishiba's ability to maintain power amidst a divided Parliament, which could lead Japan back into frequent leadership changes as it faces increased global unpredictability.
Ishiba's election victory over Noda in Parliament was narrow, with him receiving 221 votes and facing significant opposition gains, highlighting the precarious nature of his current government.
